That's exactly what I built crystal radios from. Except you didn't actually end up with what they put on the box there. It was more like a flat circuit board. But once you got it set up, you could listen in on hundreds of conversations that nobody else could hear. At the time, in the 1950's, it was a pretty amazing experience. It was only one-way radio, but it was still pretty damned cool. -

2022-10-21 at 8:56 PM UTCRadio Shack sold those. I remember these kits.
before they closed down they only came in these magnet sets you connected together on a motherboard pre-assembled. didn't teach kids shti.
but they did have all kinds of transistors and delays and sandwich boards and shit for sell. but the internet put a 90 year old business OUT OF BUSINESS
2 Navy guys started it in the 1920s or some shit. which is why its called Radio Shack -

It was started in 1921 by two brothers, Theodore and Milton Deutschmann. Neither of them was a "Navy guy".

Lol you are such a nigger. They had nothing to do with the Navy and neither did the name. The term Radio Shack was slang for the radio room on any ship not just Navy ships. Theodore and Milton Deutschmann wanted to provide equipment for the nascent field of amateur radio (also known as ham radio). Ham Radio not Navy.... -
2022-10-22 at 5:42 AM UTCBought one of my first computers that was only sold at Radio Shack, which was the Tandy. Monochrome screen with yellow text and about seven applications on it. Cost about $5,000, with a 5mb hard drive.

Originally posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No, there were people out there with transmitters/HAM radios talking to each other, and the crystal radio would allow listening in on their conversations.
if theyre talking to each other then why did you claim to be able to listen to conversations that "no one else" could hear. -

I obviously meant those who weren't surfing the midnight hours couldn't hear the conversations, retard. Stop being Mr. Difficult just for Mr. Difficult's sake, you know? -

i just looked these up - was it a TRS-80 with a Z80 and 68k CPU? $5k was a huge amount of money, how did you justify it? Did you program it to do anything useful?
They had great aesthetics. -
